After deciding to tie the knot, the couple began the daunting task of planning their special day. They partnered with White Dress Black Tie Events to orchestrate their elegant, intimate wedding celebration. “The planning process both exciting and a bit overwhelming at times, but overall very meaningful,” said Shirin.  “We focused on creating a day that felt personal and reflected us as a couple with a timeless design.”

The Details

Shirin and Joseph wanted a simple, intimate celebration. They capped the guest count at 90 and opted not to have a wedding party.

Classic florals from J Morris flowers featured white blooms and greenery. Shirin’s bouquet featured white roses. At the outdoor ceremony, meadow-style arrangements lined the aisle.

Shirin’s floor-length, off-the shoulder Allure Romance gown came from Silk Bridal studio in Virginia. She wore her hair in Hollywood waves styled by Hair by Mimi and accessorized with a borrowed chapel-length veil.

The Day

Shirin and Joseph’s wedding day dawned cloudless. The couple’s outdoor ceremony and indoor reception took place at Breaux Vineyard in Purcellville, Virginia. Cherry trees in full bloom offered a soft backdrop for outdoor portraits, and the couple shared vows in front of rolling mountain scenery.

“Our wedding day was classic and full of joy,” said the couple. “One of our favorite memories was being surrounded by all of our family and friends in one place celebrating with us.”

To set the tone for the reception, the couple shared a Serbian prayer with guests honoring family and heritage.

An entertainment team from Zandi Entertainment kept the dance floor full with a mix of Latin music, pop songs and Persian and Serbian songs. The couple called the music a “highlight of the night.”
